Running

For some reason, heaven knows why, I've agreed to start running with some girls from church. They talked me into it because they have a really great program for training to run long distances. I HATE running and really always have, but I really want to learn to like it. Or at least not abhor it like I do now. I kinda figured this is my chance- if I don't do it now, I never will. We got up early Saturday and ran at White Rock, then we ran yesterday and just now tonight. Three runs down, and I haven't died yet. That's HUGE for me:) If it weren't for girlfriends to run with, there's no way I would do it. But it's actually been quite tolerable so far. It's been fun to have girl-time and talk while running. Some of them are training for marathons and half marathons. I just want to see how it goes and get to the point where I can enjoy taking Bailey out for a run. But getting to that point is the issue. And as of tonight, I now have something to work toward...



On Thanksgiving Day, I'm going to run in the Boulevard Bolt in Nashville with my dad and sister! It's one of those things that I never would have thought I'd want to do, but I'm pretty excited about it. It'll be something good to keep me motivated to keep running and I think it should be a reasonable goal for me to look forward to. Until then, you know what I'll be doing! Wish me luck!
